Comment(by devans@…):

 Aha!  That's not cricket!

 The MacPorts python ports use non-standard installation paths so that
 multiple versions can be installed
 at the same time.  The python_select command manipulates links to select
 which one is linked to the
 default command name 'python'.  Deactivating python26 will cause
 python_select's link to fail.

 In general, the GNOME ports depend on python26 so that all python
 extensions etc will work together over
 the GNOME suite.  So I suggest you stick with that if you want a
 consistent python experience.

 More than this, the general MacPorts philosophy is to assume that all
 software to be used with our ports
 is installed by MacPorts and not manually elsewhere (like in /usr/local
 for instance).  This helps us
 insure that everything works correctly and that software works the same
 over multiple versions of the
 OS.

 Glad you got it working.
